I've Been Out in That Kitchen...

I made the first batch of chocolate peanut butter fudge a couple of days ago (I make the old-fashioned kind that was on the back of the Cocoa box a hundred years ago and is cooked on the stove for 17 min. ;>), and got the sugar cookie dough and gingersnap dough mixed up, along with the 'crust' and filling for the pecan tarts. Today, I baked the first round of gingersnap cookies and made 48 pecan tarts. Well, there's actually only 46 tarts NOW cuz I had to try them to make sure they were 'palatable'. *g* Oh my, these 'big woman' hips of mine are growing larger with me just thinking about how scrumptious these pecan tarts are! Do I HAVE to share??? :D

I will try to get the Tasty Kake recipe up here soon for those who were interested in that. :)

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm caught up in the Christmas crunch. Hope all of you are 'making merry'---the Jolly Ole' Man in the Red Suit is only 5-1/2 days away!! :D

Just catching up on the last months posts, you have done well, I just love everything. Red shoes with heels lol.btw watch for Postie I have honoured my obligation for you posting a comment about the middle of the year. When it arrives you may need to use a little sandpaper to make them open better. Now that will keep you guessing won't it. Happy Holiays. hugs

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that wallhanging! I'll have to go rummage around and see if I have that book. I think NOT, but you never know! (Or at least I don't! And anyone who DOES, just DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH STUFF!)
